Firewall Mini PC N100

I went with CWWK Mini PC N100 Firewall Hardware 2 x 10GbE SFP+, 2 x i226V 2.5GbE LAN. I had to add my own SSD and RAM, but both of which I had lying around anyway, so it was put to use. I have a 2 gig fiber connection, and it never bottlenecks it. Not doing a whole lot with it, just some VPN and dyn

CWWK N100 is fine, Just follow all the recommended settings and they just work ! been running N100 16 gb ram, 512 ssd 4 x 2.5 GB intel NICs ! If in a Hot area you Can use USB Case fans or the ones made for Consoles for Extra Airflow (In Fla ! ) A few Years running and no issues "As is Tradition" wit

CWWK Firewall Mini PC Intel N Series N100, DDR5 16G RAM 512G NVMe SSD, 4 x 2.5GbE i226V LAN Got it off amazon like 2 years ago to replace another one I had that wasn't working because it had Realtek for Lan , This one works well, and does good for Home use , especially for the price. I run 1 GB Cabl

In the ITX N100 world, CWWK is the main player. I have a few systems using the CW-NAD-ADLN-K which was a really popular board but I think has been replaced by the NAS-N150-6P. I wrote a post on STH about squeezing the most out of the board and how to upgrade the BIOS and various firmwares.

To quote Hamlet "“There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.” Ok, so I will take your question of "OMG, why?" in good faith and assume you don't mean it to be rhetorical. Why on earth would you spend $200+ on a quad NVME adapter, The card was $100US an

The N100 is a great platform. I've had a few variants and I am a fan of the CWWK CW-NAS-ADLN-K. I think the sacrifice of 2 NICs in preference for a real x4 PCIe slot is a good call. Also being this is a Gen2 board, it moved from a JMB585 to ASM1166 SATA controller with helps dramatically with power

I would say so... CWWK mini pcs on Amazon has dual 10gig SFP+ ports with quad 2.5gb ports I have the low powered N100 ones added 16Gb of ddr5ram and 128GB Nvme running Pfsense with Works great for multiwan/multigateway purposes I have 1 SFP+ port going to ONT for 2gig fiber 1 SFP+ port going to 10G

You could use the newer CWWK board. It has a PCIe 3.0 x4 slot. Then add a SFP+ NIC.

its probably a good question to ask specifically what you are aiming for / chasing? because some of thes are a bit contradictory and overspecced the n100 / n150 / n305 etc setups are great for power efficiency and using them as routers / firewalls is great in general but from what you've suggested i

I have a dedicated ethernet port on the proxmox node that I can use to reliably access the node even if the router is down. Still, I'm worried that the upgrade process will be in a situation where the router is down but it still needs internet access. Is this a concern? I just moved OPNsense from a
